CryptoStar Corp. Announces Closing of Non-Brokered Private Placement of Units
TORONTO, April 22, 2021 /CNW/ - CryptoStar Corp. (TSXV: CSTR) ("CryptoStar" or the "Company"), a cryptocurrency mining and data centre operator, today announced that it has closed the private placement announced on March 8, 2021, consisting of the issuance of 30,075,000 units ("Units") of the Company to raise $6,015,000 at a price of $0.20 per Unit by way of a non-brokered private placement (the "Offering").
Each Unit consists of one common share of CryptoStar (a "Common Share") and one common share purchase warrant of CryptoStar (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share at a price of CAD $0.27 per Common Share for a period of 18 months from the date of issue.
The Offering is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. The securities issued in connection with the Offering are subject to a four-month hold period, in accordance with applicable securities laws.
A.C.N. 117 402 838 PTY LTD ("ACN"), an insider of the Company, participated in the Offering, thereby making the Offering a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ? Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). ACN purchased 16,157,500 Units, and after the completion of the Private Placement owned 102,624,235 common shares or approximately 26.3% of the total common shares issued and outstanding. The Offering is exempt from the need to obtain minority shareholder and a formal valuation as required by MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of any units to insiders nor the consideration paid by insiders of the Company exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization. No new insiders were created, nor did any change of control result from the Offering.
CryptoStar intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for business operations and expansion of its business, and for general working capital purposes.
